Sydney Vlog | First Time in Australia

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 22 พ.ย. 2023
- We finally got to visit Australia, which was always on my bucket list. I actually came to Sydney about 30 years ago, but I was there more just a few hours so I don't think it really counts does it? On this video, I'll explore the central area, check out the Sydney Opera House and get some lunch.

Sydney is beautiful but crazy expensive!! I live on Melbourne and Ive just come back from tokyo and ita such a shock as to the difference in prices! Food in japan is so cheap and great quality.
I miss japan so much!
Hey guys you need to go to Marrickville for Pork Rolls , Marrickville Pork Roll , and you need to get out of the city a bit , perhaps Newtown for cheaper good eats . Enjoy the rest of the stay
Prices here are shameful!
Just bought a sandwich for $18 and a coffee for 5.50..in the suburbs.
Supermarket prices are just as bad.
My rent went up from $560 to $900 a week for a one bedroom apartment.
Won’t even go into how much all the other utilities are.
Can’t wait to get back to Tokyo just to be able to enjoy food without the guilt.
Yes we do have a beautiful harbour,but we’re working too hard to enjoy it.
Sydney is pricey, especially food compared to Tokyo. You can find meals under $20, but they tend to be take away, food courts, or special deals. Enjoy your stay.
welcome to Sydney. The city I love the most !!!
The most economical way for locals like myself to travel within Australia is:
1. book airbnb with functional kitchen in the suburbs outside cbd.
2. drive my own cars or hire a car in other cities if it is too far to drive.
3. shop in local supermarket and cook at home to avoid paying ridiculous price in the restaurants.
4. take public transport into the cbd if nowhere to park around there or you do not have your car.
I'm coming from Australia to Japan for my third trip in December. A three week holiday in Japan is cheaper than doing the same trip in our capital cities. Australia is a beautiful country, but it's certainly up there in prices.
Hi Guys, Welcome to my country. The tree is a Jacaranda and if you can, try to see an Illawarra Flame Tree together with it. The flame tree is the colour of Tori gates and looks amazing with Jacaranda. Eating out has become incredibly expensive over the last year, due to the cost-of-living crisis we are having. Please enjoy Sydney for all its free beauty and a cheap thing to do is take a ferry ride on an ordinary ferry around the harbour. Cheers, Muffy from Oz (Australia).
Hey guys! Welcome to Sydney! Glad you are enjoying it, but sorry about the cost of food! We have had a cost of living crisis going on over here for the past 12 months at least!
Same in the UK it’s mega mega mega expensive cost of living crisis in full affect.
So alcohol is very expensive in Australia in general. I would suggest going to a bottle shop "liquor store" to get beer and drink it in your hotel. Hot tip for food, woolworths supermarkets have a ready meal section that has sandwiches, to go salads, rice paper rolls and sushi that is not bad and better priced.
Purple flowers is a Jacaranda Tree. You don’t need to tip in Australia unless you feel inclined to reward excellent service.
That is expensive for all,not just you guys! Try checking online for the rest of your stay.
Welcome to Australia!
If you are still in Sydney let me make some recommendations…
Go to the Queen Victoria Building really early in the morning. Around 7am.
You can look at the architecture without a ton of people. It’s a beautiful building.
Also the Australian Museum is very low cost and really cool.
Also the Maritime museum is cool!
Art Gallery is also epic.
Also the Royal botanic gardens are gorgeous! I’m glad you went to see them!
Also I highly recommend any kind of show at the Capitol theatre.
More tips…
Every place in Darling Harbour costs a ridiculous amount of money for food. Try to find a place closer to Central Station.
Buuuuuuut I highly recommend the Sydney aquarium. It has one of the few Dugongs in captivity. Pig the Dugong didn’t thrive when they tried to release him into the wild several times so now he lives in the aquarium.
You will find China town easily. It’s impossible to miss.
Also if you take the ferry to Taronga zoo you go under the harbour bridge and get a perspective of the opera house too.
Are you just in Sydney for a week?
Next time you’re in Australia I recommend going to the Mid North Coast. Port Macquarie is a good place with lots of lovely place nearby to see beaches and bush land and animals
There are affordable options but you need to go into the smaller places
They aren’t.
@@nikeewestonfair
The cost of living here is why so many Australians are heading to Japan and causing issues with over tourism I guess.
Glad you found some positives in your trip but totally understand your astonishment with the cost of tourism in Australia.
You should shout out next time you're planning a trip to Oz, I'm sure there's plenty of us here who would be more than happy to help you find great places a bit out of the tourist areas (which aren't taking advantage of tourists wallets).
Would have loved to have shown you the good food spots in Sydney 😅
Please do next time we visit
Jacaranda are kind of our version of cherry blossom in several ways. We all comment on how many blossoms happen and the colour and look out for them every spring.
Next time you’re in Australia let me know! I will meet you somewhere and show you some of my favourite things!
Also there are better hotels to stay at for less money.
All the places on the main drags and especially on the harbour are so expensive.
Next time come to Taree or Port Macquarie and it will be less expensive and I can show you even more beautiful places than Sydney
Welcome to Sydney! You guys ate a very touristy place and I wouldn’t rate the food there. Sydney is very multi-cultured and so many things to try. Hopefully you will return to sample all of what Sydney has to offer.
It’s Spring in Australia, but we begin Summer on 1st December. We have been on daylight saving since October and will go back to normal time next March.
You poor guys must have had mega jet lag during this video, so thank you for battling the desire to sleep in order to vlog for us. And, yeah, the price of food (with no great konbini to fall back on) must have been a shock. The weather certainly did look beautiful! The balance of green spaces and urban architecture was _very_ nice. That Jacaranda tree was absolutely gorgeous! Looking forward to more Australia videos!💜💜
No jet lag - Japan is only two hours behind Australia. I think it was just the long flight they weren’t used to.
@@EnWorks Yeah, you're right, it was probably travel fatigue. As little as a 2-hour difference can cause jet lag symptoms, especially if one is traveling west to east, but Japan to Australia is more north to south. No jet lag going that way. 😆
OMG Shinichi! Let me know where you'll be in Sydney today or tomorrow. Welcome to my hometown!!!
Welcome to Sydney, do enjoy. Opera House is fifty years old this year.
A few quick and easy foodie places to try around the city if you’re still about!
Black Edition Coffee and Stitch Coffee, Fishbowl (healthy salads), Shortstop Donuts, Gojima, Ice Kirin Bar, Dopa Donburi and Milk Bar, Bush Redfern (amazing local indigenous ingredients), Lode Pies (amazing pies and pastries), Bourke Street Bakery, Butterboy in Manly. The list goes on!
Oh and Messina of course - a Sydney gelato institution!
Love Earl Grey!
at 1.30 you see Murrays buses that goes to Canberra...
Welcome to Australia. I hope you had a great time and were treated well, as folk from here are when we visit Japan!
We had a great time. Looking forward to our next visit
Welcome to Australia boys. Glad you’re enjoying the Spring weather too. Sydney is the most expensive city in Australia. Not shocked you’re surprised by the ridiculous over priced food. Unfortunately it’s pretty much the norm here. Unlike Japan, you don’t always get what you pay for. We are heading to Tokyo in a week for a 2 week trip, our second visit. Can’t wait. Enjoy your time in Australia. Maybe next time you can come to Melbourne 🇦🇺🦘
Welcome to Sydney!!! If you are still in town I have a few recommendations below:
The first 3 are cheap(ish) eats.
Best banh mi -
Marrickville pork roll in darling square (near chinatown)
Best Laksa -
Malay Chinese
Great middle eastern food -
Jimmy's falafel
Best Malaysian -
Ho Jiak Haymarket
Great Italian -
Tottis near Wynyard station
Best drink with a view -
O bar and dining - rotating bar to get 360 views of the city
Marrickville Pork Rolls or Eat Fuh do great banh mis in the CBD.
so amazing to have you here ❤
Welcome to Sydney! The purple tree is called a jacaranda tree!
Exactly my fave tree!
You guy's are adorable :)
Welcome!🎉 sorry I wont get a chance to bump into you both. I live in Victoria 😢. Hope you both have an amazing time!
On your next visit to Australia, Look at staying a little out of the cities where it is less expensive which means you can stay longer. Brisbane is also a beautiful city and cheaper.
Hi Shinichi and Satoshi
The Jacaranda tree in full bloom is probably one of the closest things we have to the Sakura blossoms here in Australia and glad you got to see one.
Next time you visit Sydney get in touch with me - happy to show you around 🎉
Definitely!!
I Miss Sydney so much..
Dixon Street is Chinatown. You’ll find it on a map and can walk or bus there.
Common things are more expensive in the city than in the suburbs. Welcome to my city! Get further out of the city and the prices should come down, depending on where you go.
Aloha from Hawai'i. Have you guys realized that the Australian dollar is just 66 cents USD? It is still pricy in Australia but maybe a third less so than you assumed here.
Good one! I grew up in Sydney, have lived in Fukuoka, Japan for a long time, great to see you there. Yes…you went to the touristy, expensive places in the downtown. Best contact a local, get out of the city, less expensive. There are some Jacaranda trees in Miyazaki. I plan to go there next spring.
Welcome I'm so sad you weren't recommended better places to eat. I live down the coast about an hour away and would have lived meeting you both and showing you my Sydney. Enjoy your time and much love always xoxo
sydney center and beach area is notoriously expensive :)
Welcome to Sydney! Spring is my favourite time here. Mark Wiens has a great video on Cheap Eats in Sydney if you want some ideas for the future. Eating out has definitely become less affordable here post-Covid. Hope you enjoy the rest of your stay :)
You're in Australia!!!! I hope to see you if you guys are going to Brisbane/Gold Coast
You're lucky that you came this year. November is usually very hot. I agree that the prices are very high on food.
Awesome video enjoy the walk checking out everything food looks delicious 😘❤️😍🤩🥰💯🌈🙏
I would love for you to come back to Sydney! There are also plenty of cheap and cheerful places in Sydney and would love to share some our favourite places to eat. In Chinatown there is a new precinct called Darling Quarter where there is a great banh mi place called Marrickville Pork Roll. Chinese Noodle House are delicious handmade noodles and dumplings. Ho Jiak for Malaysian and Mamak for roti. Plus so much more. It's so multicultural
Nice vlog, food and Sydney looks wonderful 😊👍
OH WOW!!!! Hope you come to Melbourne sometime too!
I love u guys!!! I'm from Hawaii, going 2 Sydney in March for a week. I plan on buying groceries 4 da airbnb n packing food n snacks. But of course we'll have 2 eat out sometimes, so I'm trying 2 decide in advance, by researching n watching helpful vlogs, like urs. Mahalo n Arigato!
Welcome to Oz! Yup. Everything is expensive here. You guys got into the tourist trap.. hope you enjoy the good weather here instead.
Hope you had a fabulous time in Sydney! I've just flown up from Melbourne for the weekend - accommodation is very expensive. I spent 3 weeks in Japan in October & could not believe how reasonable the price of food could be (maybe except fruit, although persimmons were coming into season and were an ok price); coming back to the food prices in Australia was a bit of a shock, even though I was only away a short time!
Chicken parmigiana is loved all over Australia, it's not a Sydney speciality
😄
Welcome ❤
Welcome to Australia! The seafood is amazing, and you are here coming into summer fruit season :)
My food recommendation is to find a hamburger "with the lot" which includes an egg, beetroot and a pineapple slice (yep, a pineapple slice :)
The purple blossomed tree is a jacaranda which is native to South Africa and loves the Australian climate. Apparently McDougall street in Kirribilli has a wonderful display of them.
Welcome! Enjoy Sydney.
Catch the ferry from Circular Quey to Manly. 30 mins. Nice beach, local old school fish and chip shops on Manly Corso across from the beach. Layed back feel.
Please come to Melbourne to enjoy the best food in the country :)
The diner you ate at is at the rich end of George street, up near Chanel and Tiffany & co. Try places closer to your hotel, around Market City, and Broadway Shopping Centre for more budget friendly options, up where there's more student accommodation. You may also get some good recommendations if you see a group of students hanging around, vloggers are common so most people are used to it. Pancakes on the Rocks in Darling Square I'd also consider pretty affordable for the portion sizes they offer.
I was very surprised to see that you are in my city. The areas that you have been visiting are very tourist oriented so the prices are very expensive. You need to go into the main shopping area uptown from the station. There you will find the places where the city workers go to eat. No Sydneysider could afford to eat around Chinatown or by the harbor all the time. I hope that you enjoy your stay.
Thanks for the tips!
Shame u never had the chance to call me shinichi I would have took u around to a few great spot too!!! 👍🏻
Yes Sydney is very expensive food and property’s!!!!
Thank you for visiting our beautiful city! What beautiful weather! Hope you enjoyed the rest of your stay!
Whoa! I didn't know you were going to Australia. That's awesome! Hope you have a great time and I can't wait to see what other fun videos you'll have from the trip.😊
Beautiful and so nice to see you all happy.
The large tree with exposed roots is called a Moreton Bay Fig. Native to eastern Australia. They are also great as a bonsai 😉
I think it was a Port Jackson Fig. The leaves looked smaller than a Moreton Bay Fig. Bit hard to tell on the video though.
City Extra?!?! Please dont tell me that someone recommended that place to you! 😱😱 You both ate in the most overrated cafe offering the worst food in Australia, in THE most expensive area in Sydney. Condolences. 🙏
All true but if you want to eat down there at the harbour there isn't really anywhere that's not expensive
Agreed. It's ALL expensive down there....but City Extra?!?! I'd rather eat at Opera Bar for the exact same price, but better quality food!
City Extra should have closed down over 20 years ago.
The food is terrible there.
They liked it. Looked delicious…
@@unklecyril They probably didn't know any better.
Have you tried 'City Extra'?
Would have been better off with a Hurricanes grill there in my opinion.
Welcome to Sydney! I hope you enjoyed your stay & come back soon!
australia! the opera house is so stunning
Yea it really is
12:56 Wow and I thought Japan had old beautiful trees, but that tree is amazing!!🌳😍
07:01. Cool! The new camera dies great on food! I was wondering how it would go on food. Thanks. Laurie. NZ. 😊
It is a beautiful place to visit~ glad you enjoyed it!
Hope you are enjoying my
home town Sydney, Australia! Great food and places to explore!
Welcome to Australian. Glad you finally made it down under!! Can’t wait to see more videos. Got to visit The Eight in Chinatown for good Yum Cha. 🙂
I so want you guys to come to New Zealand, but I'm also worried that it will be very expensive like Australia 😅
Well, my parents run a nice, affordable airbnb in Dunedin, if you're interested!
Best time of year to be at the Botanical Gardens
The first tree is a Moreton Bay fig
We would of taken the two of you out for dinner in Sydney 👋👋😀🇦🇺🇦🇺
Glad you’re traveling! Hopefully you found more reasonable food. It’s hard to relax and worry about money. We had jacarandas in California too. I just loved those beautiful trees! Hope you had fun seeing someplace new.
Yeah Aus is expensive, its gotten a lot moreso recently too. I'm from Perth and moved to Melbourne 10 years ago. It used to be a fair bit cheaper here than Perth but now its expensive. $10 meals are a thing of the past. $20 for a bowl of small ramen is typical.
I love that you came down to Sydney, you should hit the beaches and outdoor dining cafes.
Welcome to Sydney!
Such lovely weather ^^ Love the colour of the sea.
Looks like the exchange rate is about 1 AUD to 100 JPY, that's at least easy to calculate with
What a beautiful place, but omg, the prices of food!! I've always wanted to visit Australia...maybe one day. You both look great brother...oh and here on the central coast, down towards southern California, we have tons of Jacaranda trees. They're beautiful, but quit messy. Hugs to you both! XOXO
Wow! I was in shock at how expensive the food was! Twice the cost compared to Colorado 😮
Hey, welcome to my hometown. Enjoy your stay in our beautiful, but very expensive, city!
you are at the most expensive tourist trap Circular Quay n Opera House. Being a local, even I cannot afford to eat out there.
The salary here is one of the highest in the world to make it very expensive to eat out at the restaurant as they need to pay good wages for waiters/chefs.
We are serious shortage of hospitality workers here and push the wages even higher.
I hardly eat out but cook 99% of my time as the grocery price in supermarket is tax free and much cheaper self catering at home.
Japanese yen is so low to make it even more expensive for you guys.
Try food court in Chinatown opening for lunch and dinner as they are cheaper than restaurants.
Welcome to Sydney guys. More recommendations...take the ferry from circular quay to Manly. Blue mountains is pretty. Unfortunately looks like we have a bit of wet weather for the next week.
Funny thing I tell people all the time that Tokyo is half price compared to Sydney 🤘🏻🇦🇺🤘🏻
If you get the chance you must try either basa or hoke (pronounced Hoe key) they're regional fish to us here and have the creamiest most tasty texture. Grilled especially with a little seasoning is my favorite way to cook it. We also have a fish market that's on the tram line that runs from Central to Dullwich Hill where you can get the freshest seafood. Mappen Udon is also the best when you're craving some tasty noodles
A very expensive but very memorable thing to do is the Bridge Climb - a secure walk up to the top of the Sydney Harbour Bridge : amazing views of the Harbour and the vast suburban sprawl. Next time you want to come to Sydney, save up for the Bridge Climb. There’s a website which will be able to answer your questions including how to book, the costs etc.
Hope you are both enjoying(or enjoyed) your time in Sydney. Do you have any plans to visit other Australian cities in the future?
What a pity I didn't know you were visiting Sydney. I'm a 4th generation Hawaiian nikkei living in Sydney for 40 years. Zannen!
go to coles or woolworths supermarkets there n cook fr urself cheaper i stayed in sydney fr halve year back in 2016 in a backpacker thts cheaper to each night n more fun meeting people was also in sydney in 2009 n found it was bit cheaper thn compared to 2016
Japan to Australia via Singapore is the worst. Take a gamble next time and fly Jeststar via Cairns.
Sydney is great for sightseeing, but for food Melbourne is much better and a little cheaper too. Melbourne has an amazing Chinatown
Can’t wait to visit Melbourne
Much as I love Melbourne,minus the Winter weather,both cities have bargains if you do research as many youtubers promote it.Although I loved the Dandenongs in Melbourne and some great wineries. I think for foodies though,there is no point visiting without research otherwise ppl are stuck in random poorer quality places as even in Japan and Singapore I ate some average food as my friend wanted comfort over quality of food
Bahn mi should be in a baguette style bread right? That looks like a sub roll.
best fries and pizza in Australia
You are in same city as me right now while I’m preparing my trip to Japan in 2 weeks
Hey Shinichi, I was wondering when you'd come to Oz! We do have such a variety of food here. Are you still here? You coming to Melbourne? Be happy to show you around haha.
hope you are enjoying my home town! will you come to Melbourne too?
Not this time. Maybe we will visit next time
I got so happy when you said you loved the jacaranda flowers 💜 they're all over my city. Such beautiful trees ☺️
Edit: not sure if you're still there but defs go to Darlinghurst!! And Newtown :)
And Kirribilli~
Go to Burwood and Cabramatta for some good and cheap foods 😊
Hello Shinichi and Satoshi
Wow, you both are in Sydney.
When you got on the tram it broke down. Did you get your money back from the tram?
I hope you both have a fantastic time. ✈️ 🛩 🚎.
Manly Ocean Foods is the old school fish and chip shop on the corso.
